Unesco World Heritage Sites in Piedmont

When the House of Savoy moved its capital to Torino in 1562 they began to build a ruling seat for themselves and their court that was befitting their status and would demonstrate their power.

An unusual UNESCO World Heritage Site encompasses the vineyard landscapes of southern Piedmont, between the Po Valley and Ligurian Apennine range.

The park that contains a complex of chapels called the Sacri Monti is not only a beautiful walk, it's also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
